Default 2 Dell Vista PC's access to each other's C: drive is denied!

Hello,

I have 2 new Dell XPS 410 PC's, both running Vista Home Premium. Both
are on Ethernet wiring to the same cable modem, and both access the
Internet with no problem. But I need for each PC to be able to see
the other's C: drive. One PC needs read-only access to the other PC,
and one needs read/change/write access.

I've got everything set up and mapped, but when I try to access either
C: drive, I get the error message "Access is Denied" to the full C:
drive. I think I'm overlooking something simple, but darn if I know
what it is. Can anyone help?

Thanks, MrBill

Have you assigned permissions in the security tab? Or this link may help,

I just assigned permissions to "Everyone", which seems to be working
OK. Interestingly enough Vista is protecting a LOT of the folders
from viewing by the other PC, but I expected this.

The only question I have left is: Will new folders inherit the
security settings of the folders above them?

Thanks, Bill
